FAQS
-
Do I need a licence for boom lift hire in Brisbane?
Yes. Most boom lifts and cherry pickers require a High Risk Work Licence (WP class) when the boom length exceeds 11 metres. This applies to many Boom Lift Hire and Cherry Picker Hire applications, particularly on commercial and construction sites. For smaller machines or scissor lifts, a licence may not be required, but proper training and site induction are still essential. -
Can I hire a scissor lift or EWP for a residential DIY project?
Yes. Many homeowners and tradespeople hire compact Elevated Work Platforms for residential maintenance, painting, lighting installation and repairs. We’ll help you choose a machine that is safe, easy to operate, and suitable for residential environments, along with guidance on safe operation. -
What is the difference between a boom lift and a scissor lift?
A boom lift provides both vertical height and horizontal outreach, making it ideal for reaching over obstacles such as roofs, machinery or structures. A scissor lift, on the other hand, moves straight up and down and is best suited for vertical access where no horizontal reach is required.
-
Which type of boom lift should I choose?
The right boom lift depends on your work environment and access requirements.
- Knuckle boom lifts are ideal when you need to reach up and over obstacles or work in confined spaces.
- Straight boom lifts are better suited for long horizontal reach in open areas.
- Electric boom lifts work well indoors or in noise-sensitive environments.
- Diesel boom lifts are designed for outdoor and rough terrain conditions.
Our experienced team will assess your project needs and recommend the most suitable Boom Lift Hire in Brisbane option to minimise downtime and maximise safety.
-
Is safety equipment required when operating a boom lift or EWP?
Yes. When operating any boom lift, man lift, or Elevated Work Platform, appropriate safety equipment is essential. This typically includes:
- A certified safety harness
- A suitable lanyard attached to approved anchor points
- PPE such as helmets, high-visibility clothing, and safety footwear
-
How are the boom lifts and EWPs maintained?
All of our boom lifts, cherry pickers, and EWPs are maintained by in-house technicians and serviced in line with Australian Standard AS2550.10. This includes:
- Scheduled inspections and servicing
- Pre-start mechanical and safety checks before every hire
- Testing of emergency controls, alarms, and operating systems
- Documentation to support site and WHS compliance
